Take heart, in 10 years the worst of the boomers in power today will be dead. In 20 years there will be almost no boomers left. Hopefully there will be enough of a country left to fix once they're all dead.

You're forgetting that there are many brainwashed younger people who totally bought the bullshit. It won't be easy.

In about 25 years most countries will be warzones and anyone that cant afford whatever the elite are charging for the few freshwater sources left on the planet will be dead or enslaved. anyone within twenty degrees of the equator will have fled or be dead, and anyone living above ground anywhere else will live in nonpermanent shelters due to the yearly storms that destroy standing structure.

boomers will be taking the worlds habitable range with them, and leaving us with a nightmare.

That's an excellent reason to try and live in the moment and enjoy what you have while you have it.
